Description
The Mecmesin SqueezerPro Compression Tester is engineered to deliver accurate, reliable, and repeatable compressive strength testing for packaging and materials. Purpose-built for corrugated boxes, cartons, and unit loads, it evaluates board mediums, closures, partitions, and other critical design variables under controlled compression.
With a maximum force of 25 kN (5,500 lbf) and precision-aligned specimen platforms, the SqueezerPro ensures confidence in test outcomes. It is ideal for distribution simulation tests and compliance-driven evaluations.
Powered by VectorPro® software, the SqueezerPro simplifies test creation, execution, and data analysis. Features include:
-
Real-time graph plotting and immediate results display
-
Customised reporting with overlay or individual test graphs
-
Batch testing for semi-automatic or fully automated routines
-
Secure user access with audit trail logging
This integration reduces operator training requirements and improves throughput, making it perfect for both research laboratories and quality control departments.
